Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to access the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on postoperative pain in patients undergoing pancreatectomy

Full description

Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to either the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) or the sham groups. In the TEAS group, the acupoints are bilateral neiguan (PC6) and Zusanli (ST 36) acupoints. Patients will receive TEAS 30min before anesthesia until being discharged from the postanaesthesia care unit (PACU). The same treatment for 30 min will be performed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days after surgery. The stimulation intensity will be adjusted in accordance with the maximal level tolerated by each patient.

Patients in the sham group will receive electrode attachment but without stimulation.
